Pasted text not keeping the attributes of Text box

[CartoonMike]

Hi all, long time no post.

 

Been using Affinity Designer to letter comics. Pretty good results so far. Except for the lack of alterations like Pucker/Bloat and Roughen... anyway my question is that when doing lettering for comics, the practice is to copy text from a script and then paste it into the Document with the art and such. In "the other" app, when text is pasted into a text area/box that has a font/size/leading all set, the pasted text gains those attributes. In AD, it doesn't. So for every bit of dialog and captions, I have to re-select the font, change the leading and such. This is a bit of a time-sink.

 

Is there something that I'm not doing? An arcane modifier key? Sacrificing small animals in the dark of the moon... scratch the last one, that's for something else. :P

 

If this is the way it is (i.e. pasted text retaining its original formatting/applying a "default"), I feel the ability for pasted text to adapt to the setting of the target text frame/box be an option. purdy please?

 

Thanks!

Which app are you copying your text from? I've just tried TextEdit and custom text attributes are carried across into AD.

@Leigh: Thanks for the response! However, I figured it out. I just need to remember to use the "Paste without format" using the massive key combo of Command-Option-Shift-V. I'll get around to changing that shortcut, once I get back up to speed on AD.
